This painting is called A Female Nude Seated on a Ledge. It was made by Charles-Louis-Lucien Müller between 1863 and 1866. The artist used red chalk with white heightening on blue paper, which is an interesting combination of materials. This mix of mediums allowed for subtle texture and tone variations, making the piece more nuanced. You can learn more about Impressionism at the National Gallery of Art, Washington.
